Description Bugzilla Maintainers 2002-09-06 09:49:45 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           KDE 3.0.2 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Not Specified
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The spell checker have the option to set the compoundwords on/of in the languages .asf file.

The selection box for this in the spellckeker settings removes this options.
More correctly in the SuSE distribution this is commented out in the .asf file.

This is very annoying when this is a part of a selected language and should not be set by the user.

Thsi is so sever taht we have to kmail as corporate mail client when you always have to think which rule applies to the selectet language.

Probably the development team is english spoken and think this is an picant option.

I do report this as a whis althoug I thing it is a sever missusage of the underlying ispell ant its teams work.

I have no clue what the report is asking here. Could someone please reword it
for me?

As I understand it, the default option for handling "run-together words" should depend on the language. For example, in German it is perfectly valid to combine any number of words to a single new word, like the famous "Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft", while in English you usually need to separate words by spaces, even when the object they describe is a single entity. So instead of a check box you would need three cases.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
